Release v13.0.0 — Modular Architecture & Package Extraction

Overview

This release marks a major architectural shift: core features have been extracted into dedicated packages (nasirkhan/laravel-cube and nasirkhan/module-manager), reducing the starter's footprint and making it significantly easier to update and maintain going forward.

Breaking Changes

  • Settings module removed — migrated to the module-manager package
  • Backup module removed — consolidated into module-manager
  • UserController removed — user management now handled via Livewire components
  • Frontend Blade components removed — all replaced by cube namespace equivalents from nasirkhan/laravel-cube
  • Post, Category, Tag, and Menu modules migrated to module-manager package
